This is a very simple WordPress plugin that adds the code needed for Google Analytics to your page. You just need to install the plugin, activate it, and enter your Tracking ID.
Technical Details (in case you are curious, the plugin takes care of this for you)
If your Google Analytics Tracking ID is UA-XXXXXXXX-1, this code needs to be added to your page headers for tracking to occur:


 window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; 
 function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} 
 gtag(‘js’, new Date());
 gtag(‘config’, ‘UA-XXXXXXXX-1’);
The plugin adds a field to the General Settings page for you to enter your Tracking ID. Activate the plugin, enter your Tracking ID – that’s all you have to do. The code above (with your Tracking ID) will automatically be inserted into the header of each page your readers view.

Deploy Google Analytics on your website without having to edit code and without tracking your own visits. You can exclude any logged in user from this and enable tracking solely for them. You can also ignore a device by ticking a box which sets a session cookie.
You can also enter your Google Tag Manager ID and disable tracking via GTM.
We would love to hear your <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wk-google-analytics/reviews/" rel="ugc">feedback</a>. It helps us improve and expand the plugin according to your needs.

I've been looking for non-intrusive Google Tag plugin and after a few unsuccessful iterations with other, higher ranked in WP directory plugins, found this one. This plugin does exactly what it should: installs google tags on your WP website. That's it. Nothing else. The rest is managed via Google Tags directly. Thanks to the developers!


Excellent, simple to setup plugin
